I hear it all the time, “We’d be so screwed if we had a normal HR person. I’m so happy we have you.” Not really. You’d just be screwed if you had someone who wasn’t a real person, trying to manage real people. I’ve worked my way up through this company from an HR Assistant to the HR Director, I’ve …
I am super weird about people’s email sign offs. I over-analyze everything, and I assume that the sender has a brain that works like mine, so I start picking apart the email, based on not only the content – but also on the email signature. So just in case anyone ever feels like emailing me, I want to make it …
I realize that every business has its own lingo. For example, at car dealerships, we say things that might not make sense to other people. Under water = Negative equity Money on the back end = Money made in finance Money on the front end = Money made in Sales Units = Cars Floor plan = Line of credit Light …
Who better than to report on the latest American Idol scandal than FOT's best karaoke star? Nobody! I should have tried out for the show. Hindsight is always 20/20. Anyway, in case you haven't seen it on the news channels, American Idol has a complaint filed against them at the United States EEOC, charging racism, from nine African American contestants. New York attorney, …
The dealership has been hit with an epidemic, which makes absolutely no sense to me since I made them all get a flu shot (myself included). Side note, men are super wimpy when it comes to needles.

If you follow me on any forms of social media, you know this is pretty normal, coming from me. Heck, I am a …
Tim Sackett will tell you the best way to find out about what's going on at work is to hang with the smokers. Like, even if you don't smoke, go outside with them. I agree. Although, here at the dealership, it's the occasional beer after work that allows me to find out what's going on. And sometimes, I get invited for these beers. I …
With me, you will always know where you stand. I promise you. I wear these damn emotions on my sleeve. If I am upset with you, I will say to you that I am mad. If I am happy with you, you will get a lot of interaction. Heck, I’m friendly to The Wealth Conscious Life & Wealth Freedom Pack …
Over the past two months, I have been to three conferences (Ohio SHRM, Recruiting Trends, and Digital Dealer). Each conference had good sessions and bad sessions. I want to talk about the bad ones and piss off about half of the speaking circuit. Motivational Speakers? Are Stupid. Nothing makes me more upset than spending $800 to attend a two day …
If there's one thing that keeps HR people up at night, it's threat of a zombie apocalypse. Can we all agree on this? The threat of a zombie take over is something that the CDC openly talks about, but OSHA just sweeps it under a rug, as if zombies don't even exist! Shame on you, OSHA! We know where to …
